As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens.

    Mmachi was very informative and patient with me, since I did not have an updated Nikon camera. She let me use her Cannon camera, and I throughly enjoyed the class.

    I have recently had the urge to travel with my Dog, Jada, my camera, and my Mobile Treehouse (lol, my Tacoma with a rooftop tent).
